'72 LJ Torana, '95 VS Acclaim and V8 wagon
Model:
1995 VS Executive Wagon

Interior:
Standard
Except for VN front seats and power windows in the front. Aftermarket things.
Drivers side works and is hooked up, passenger works but stays at the bottom of the door..
That means 3 manual windows and a very bad sounding drivers window.

Stereo:
Some random head unit and standard speakers.

Engine & Mechanical:
5.0L with an auto behind it.


Exterior:
Standard VS executive wagon.
Clubsport bonnet badge


Stuff To Install:
When I get it:
Panard rod bushes - Done
Inlet manifold gasket - Done
Rocker cover gasket - Done


Currently Working on:
Getting it set for road worthy. - Done
Head unit install

Future Plans:
Drive it.
Power Windows.
Light sound system.
Possibly an exhaust.


Total build cost so far: $1700
Now around 2.5...

Exhaust is needed as it sounds like a 6..
Speaking of 6's my sedan feels like it has more balls..

I wouldnt have a clue but they're comfy as ####.
I have a feeling its either timing case or its to do with manifold gasket/ rocker cover.

VN Berlina seats. Looks like a clean body so that's half the battle won and the engine bay should come up good with a steam clean.

Update:
Inlet manifold gasket, rocker gaskets, timing cover gasket and panard rod bushes ordered. Around 100 bucks.. Why are they cheaper than 6's?!?
